  • The united front that Canada presented in President-elect Donald Trump's first term is fractured and distracted after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation.

The article from MSN discusses the current leadership vacuum in Canada following the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which has left the country without a clear strategy for dealing with potential trade conflicts with the United States, particularly under a possible second term of Donald Trump. With Trudeau's departure, Canada faces uncertainty in its trade relations, especially since Trump has previously criticized Canadian trade practices and threatened to impose tariffs. The lack of a definitive leader means there is no immediate plan to negotiate or counteract Trump's aggressive trade policies, which could include revisiting or renegotiating the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement). This situation is compounded by the fact that the Liberal Party, Trudeau's party, is in the midst of a leadership race, further delaying any cohesive response to international trade challenges. The article highlights the potential economic risks for Canada, given its heavy reliance on trade with the U.S., and underscores the urgency for the incoming leader to address these issues promptly.
